I have a ton of secualr stuff (santa, reindeer, snowpeople, etc) However, I am looking to add Christian themed decorations to my collection to decorate with this year. Christian stores are just so expensive anymore because the mass merchandisers rarely carry religious themed Christmas things. Is there any artsy stuff I can do that isnt too time consuming an expensive for a one income family? Thanks in advance for your help!

I've seen and done some nice, cheep decorations using colored construction paper.
You cut out whatever designs you want and glue (or otherwise fasten) that over a contrasting color.
Also can be done using colored plastic underneath.

I would look around for a Natvity Set. Just get an inexpensive one for this year and then go after Christmas when everything is on sale and you can get a nice one for 50% off or more. Even the department stores have Nativity sets. Also I would go to craft stores, they have unpainted wood and ceramic ornaments that you can paint yourself. Make some prints on a computer program such as Print Shop and frame them in inexpensive frames.

I have a small tree with white lights, gold beaded garland, a star on top, silk poinsettias (cut and inserted in the branches) and angel ornaments found in dollar stores, flea markets, bazaars, yard sales, etc. Have the children make crosses and decorate with glitter or sequins. Use plastic canvas to cut out your designs and just outline with ribbon or yarn.

Nativity set.
Or set up some dolls dressed up like it and use a small table as a creche. Stuffed animals.
Doves, crosses, stars, wreath, candles, candy canes, advent wreath.

4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
( Deuteronomy 6 )

Do you have kids who could make things in their Sunday School?
